Rating:  - Something I'd want to have for my own collection
Mingmei Yip is an excellent writer--very engaging. And her illustrations are very colorful and eye-catching as well. I was looking for books to introduce Chinese culture to my young nieces, nephews, and cousins, and I can definitely recommend this one. I couldn't put it down myself, late one night! I had checked out a slew of books from the library, but only some met my criteria of excellent writing and good pictures. Some had one or the other: this one had BOTH. I don't give anything I wouldn't want myself...I sure wish I had this when I was growing up! Adults can enjoy this, too.
Rating: - Beautiful Tales for Children and Adults.
I buy a lot of books for my daughter about many different cultures and this is one of our favourites. Well written and entertaining for adults and children.
Rating: - story collection
This is an excellent selection of stories that are a good way to bridge the culture for children in this country. I particularly thought the monkey story was a good choice since he is an important character in Chinese culture.
Rating: - Great Chinese fairy tales!
My 15 month old twins love hearing these stories and the illustrations keep them visually engaged!
Rating:  - A good book for children
It's a good book for children to learn more about Chinese tales and the illustration is attractive.
